Paul Vecchiali

A true maverick of French cinema, Paul Vecchiali was born in 1930 in Ajaccio, Corsica, France, and began his directorial career in the 1960s. His works, predominantly in the drama genre, have made waves in the industry with films like 'Rosa la Rose, fille publique' and 'Femmes femmes' standing out, the latter earning him a nomination at the Berlin International Film Festival. Vecchiali's authorial style is noted for its subversion of narrative norms, creating a unique blend of reality and fiction.

As a man, Vecchiali is a creative paradox, coupling his innovative film-making approach with an unassuming persona, a testament to his belief that art should always speak louder than the artist.
